Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway provides robust
cloud-delivered security and compliance protection with high
scalability, fast performance, rock-solid reliability, and simple
deployment.
SAN
ANTONIO, Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost &
Sullivan recently assessed the global secure web gateway industry
and, based on its findings, recognizes Cisco with the 2022 Global
Secure Web Gateway Enabling Technology Leadership Award.
Cisco offers a broad set of security capabilities – featuring
a function-rich secure web gateway (web proxy) – via a single
cloud-delivered service to compete effectively in the secure web
gateway (SWG) market. Cisco innovates continuously, and the key
differentiators in its features and/or strategic developments set
it apart from its competitors. Cisco's integrated secure cloud
solution meets customers' need for scalable security framework that
integrates and consolidates multiple security capabilities into one
platform. As customers evolve toward a Secure Access Service Edge
(SASE) approach to security, Cisco Umbrella's SWG capability is
foundational for converging security, networking (e.g. SD-WAN), and
Zero Trust for better, more flexible security.
The SWG functionality can proxy all web traffic for greater
visibility and control. It logs all activity, protects against
viruses and malware, and enforces acceptable use policies. It also
scans traffic to detect and block known malicious destinations.
Files are scanned and known bad items blocked. New or suspicious
files can be routed to a sandbox for deeper inspection and
retrospective alerts can be generated if a file starts to display
bad behavior.
The key differentiators of Cisco Umbrella Web Security
include:
- Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) integrates a
variety of security functions into one cloud-native service,
including SWG, cloud-firewall, cloud access security broker (CASB)
functionality, DNS-layer security, data loss prevention (DLP),
remote browser isolation (RBI), and more.
- Rated #1 in security efficacy multiple years in a row by
AV-TEST
- Real-time threat intelligence from Umbrella's global network
plus Cisco Talos, the largest private threat intelligence
organization in the world
- File inspection, sandboxing and retrospection with Secure
Malware Analytics and Secure Endpoint
- An aggressive roadmap of new features
"Cisco's Umbrella solution is fully cloud-based and is at the
core of the company's broad portfolio of cloud-based solutions that
have markedly expanded over the last decade. With a tighter
integration between email, web, and app security for end-to-end
protection, Cisco effectively responds to attackers' increasing
volume and sophistication of web-based threats," said Tony Massimini, a senior industry analyst.
Cisco Umbrella and its SWG capability protect against
high-volume commodity attacks and guard against sophisticated,
targeted, and evasive threats that require real-time detection and
prevention—all without sacrificing user productivity. The company's
large number of Points-of-Presence (PoPs) enable it to cover a
broad global footprint to meet the data privacy regulations in
various countries and regions. The SWG functionality provides
scalable and rock-solid cloud delivery of a web proxy, with better
cloud resilience, and high scalability and data throughput rate for
great performance as customers scale-up workloads and add more
endpoints.
According to Massimini, "Cisco has held a large market share
position and outperformed the market, gaining a 10.4% market share
and a number three ranking. This achievement is quite impressive as
SWG is a rapidly growing and competitive market that demands
continuous innovation." The company's overall strategy of tight
integration across its broad product portfolio has contributed to
its success, while its networking and cloud business is key in the
development of the SWG platform—an integral component of its SASE
journey. With its strong overall performance, Cisco earns Frost
& Sullivan's 2022 Global Enabling Technology Leadership Award
in the secure web gateway industry.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a company
that has developed a pioneering technology that not only enhances
current products, but also enables the development of new products
and applications. The award recognizes the high market acceptance
potential of the recipient's technology.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies
in various regional and global markets for demonstrating
outstanding achievement and superior performance in leadership,
technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product
development. Industry analysts compare market participants and
measure performance through in-depth interviews, analyses, and
extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the
industry.
